Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I have a suggestion regarding Slackware Wiki.
To the main page a section called something like "Program-Specific Installation instructions / Application database" should be added. This section could have subsections like "Physical Sciences", "CAD" "Engineering" etc.

Go ahead and post your docs !

I guess we all have some personal HOWTOs in our /home, and if it worked for us, it may work for others

Hmm... all the years as a member at /. and I've finally succeeded in getting an article accepted. And, as usual, it has generated many interesting and informative (much facetiousness here) replies there.

Actually, since this project is contained in a Wiki, you can contribute any piece of Slackware related knowledge quite effortlessly. All you have to do in order to contribute is register an account on http://docs.slackware.com/ , create a new page and start documenting.

I am going to ask a really dumb question... I perused the docs.slackware.com pages, and didn't see a single reference to creating an account. Am I missing it, or...??
